About Us

Leading the way in transformative group events.

September through June, schools, churches and corporate groups of all kinds are discovering the unique and powerful benefits of Muskoka Woods, including our state-of-the-art Leadership Studio. Retreats encourage active living and camaraderie through unforgettable indoor and outdoor teambuilding activities. Programs are tailored to each group and reinforce our core values: creativity, friendship and confidence. Whether you’re a group of 30 or 600, Muskoka Woods is an ideal choice. Our modern facilities and unrivaled 1,100-acre grounds hold spacious dining halls and comfortable cabins, as well as exciting activities that get you up in the air, on an athletic field, or up close and personal with nature.

A full-service staff that cares

Our staff comes from many backgrounds: recent graduates of Recreation and Leisure programs, University and College students, Co-op Students, Canadian and International staff. Our staff is fun-loving, trained in the core Christian values of Muskoka Woods and committed to providing a whole camp experience that is fun, safe and successful. All staff members demonstrate leadership excellence and undergo a rigorous selection process that includes behavioural interviews, reference checks, skills and experience assessment, police and criminal record check and a seven-day on-site training course.

Lucas Durocher

SCHOOLS & GROUPS DIRECTOR

Lucas grew up locally in the Muskoka area, which is where he developed his love for the outdoors. He started working at Muskoka Woods when he was 17 and hasn’t missed a summer since, taking on a range of positions from counselling to managing all arts and athletic activities. Lucas has a degree in Kinesiology from McMaster University and a Bachelor of Education from Nipissing University. His passions include healthy active living, education, sports, the outdoors, and raising up young leaders. He is an authentic leader who cares deeply about the purpose behind his work. Lucas met and married his wife, Kirsten, on the shores of Lake Rosseau and now calls camp his home. You may even see him training for his next triathlon along highway 141.

Space for groups of all sizes

Whether you’re a group of 30 or 600, Muskoka Woods is well-equipped with meeting rooms and facilities designed to meet your specific needs. We work with schools, churches and corporate groups to identify the space that suits their unique events, programs, conferences, concerts and more.
